it's not my fault if someone is a thief.
In Japan after the tsunami that destroyed Fukushima, residents went back to salvage what they could amid the destruction..
When an international reporter toured the area he noticed a few things..
First of all, almost every home was reduced to rubble.. next he noticed something that seemed strange to him..
Along the sidewalk there were little piles of valuables, jewelry, silver coins and even gold trinkets.. when he asked his interpreter about it he was told that locals placed these items on the street because they didn't belong to them and were washed onto their property.. they were put out onto the sidewalk so they could be claimed by their owners.. theft wasn't an issue because the people considered it rude...
It should be that way everywhere.. i shouldn't have to worry about my valuables being taken by strangers just because I took my eyes off of them..
